Something's Brewing with the Mountain Man (Spring in the Mountains #13)

She came to start over. Love was the last thing she was looking for.

Opening a floral boutique in Pineberry Springs is Holly's fresh start. A chance to rebuild her life in a cozy small town where no one knows past, where she can finally breathe.

After everything she's been through, she's done with love. Done with men in general, actually. Especially charming ones who are quick to promise the world.

What she doesn't plan on? Jake.

The soft-spoken man who is a nearly a decade older than her and owns the coffeehouse and roastery next door is way too kind to be real - not to mention competent, self-aware, and maddeningly handsome.

Jake is everything she doesn’t trust. He’s warm where she’s guarded. Protective without being possessive. Consistent in a way that feels impossible. Before she knows it, they're sharing utilities, mornings, and a love of the great outdoors. He looks at her like he's known her forever - like he's been waiting for her.



Holly doesn't believe in fate anymore, but she does believe in paying attention to red flags and not making the same mistake twice.

Still, there’s no denying the instant connection between them feels unnervingly right. It's a spark Holly doesn’t trust, but can’t ignore.


Jake is nothing like the man who nearly broke her - and that makes him even more dangerous.

Because if he's for real, then walking away would mean letting go of the kind of love she'd given up on dreaming of. The kind that feels like coming home.


Something’s Brewing with the Mountain Man is a tender, swoony, small-town romance with instalove spark, fated-mate energy, and a whisper of magic. This open-door quick read features a black cat florist and the golden retriever mountain man who shows her what true love is.

This book is featured in Spring in the Mountains, a multi-author mountain man romance collection where each book is a complete standalone featuring a rugged, protective and devoted hero. This story begins Holly and Jake’s journey in Pineberry Springs, with their romance continuing in the forthcoming full-length companion novel, The Enchanted Florist.
